I feel so sad!!! Poor children. But also the father is a little bit bastard. They all are guilty in this chapter.

well, there have been better ones. I did not like the second story with that wooden-man. The other story was ok but nothing special.

Did I over look something? what happend to the mother and her daughter? did she just leave town? I was confused about that. But the piece of wood on the dude's head was so cool!

The case with the basketball player's son was good but it was the guy with the steak in his head... and what Grissom and Nick discover about him and his dealings was interesting.

The wooden stake in the head was cool. Not much else to say about the episode.
